Had we been mass-produced through purple screens and amethyst light, we would have been all alike. And faultless– to the point, that each, would be faulty of being so.
But the inconsistency of this block print– the overlaps, the mash-ups, the experimental, unexpected colours, even those pure bits that remain uncoloured and white– speak of how we were made. (Each with love, each with His own hands, each at a different point in time).
And that is why the inconsistency shouldn’t bother.
It’s unique.
For each.
Because that is how, together, we make a fabric so beautiful.

A window display for an interior design studio and store, Tulips, in west Pune. The idea was to showcase their fabric range on a ‘hyper-realistic peacock,’ the tail being the display. We used the play of light and shadow on the natural drape and folds of the fabric, the grandeur of the sheer volume of the material coupled with a realistic, larger-than-life bird. Originally, we designed a flexible system where the fabric could be changed according to seasonal themes and colours. The final display was tweaked by the clients and doesn’t involve so much fabric.
